Do You Think Poker is Similar to Life?

Do you think poker is somewhat similar to life? Because I do.

niphon56 · Mar 12, 2021

If your life full of bluff, that must be exciting and nerve.

I am glad poker is only a small part of my life, it maybe similar but not all.

Katie Dozier · Mar 12, 2021

There are sooo many poker truisms that are even more valid in real life—one of the more rewarding aspects of having played so much is spotting so many life lessons in this game! I def am guilty of making too many poker analogies in real life—thank goodness I’m married to a poker player or he’d probably be very sick of it by now 🤣

hello

we don't think poker has anything to do with life, if you do it you have a bad enough life, you can be a pretty insecure person I'm sure I wouldn't trust my life

theRaven68 · Mar 12, 2021

there are similarities, for example when it comes to the way we play and behave in private life

CBETKA · Mar 12, 2021

Life is not a game. I don't see any resemblance to poker. You can play at will. Playing with life is not worth it.

Yes, I think that poker and life have a lot in common. Both are games. The rates are also different here and here. Well, bluffing in real life occurs at every step.

Yes, I think poker is like our lives. In poker, as in personal life, our patience and discipline play a crucial role.

kley126 · Mar 12, 2021

just like our poker life we have to make the best possible decisions and try to minimize mistakes and they serve as experience and learn from them

zerosalex · Mar 12, 2021

Very much so. Since its about managing money and risk taking. Also teaches you patience and how to control you emotions.

19aleks57 · Mar 12, 2021

I think that poker is definitely a part of the players' lives.

Cooking · Mar 12, 2021

There are some similarities in my opinion. You need to have discipline and patience to have success in poker and also in real life.

MURDACK · Mar 12, 2021

I don't see it that way...
Poker is amazing game that you can get some fun out of it... It is also dangerous as it might affect your life in bas ways.

Life.. well ... Is just life...and in the end.. is not game and that should be what you put first in your priorities

77ecos · Mar 13, 2021

Several aspects in the game help you in your daily life that many players have said and analyzing it in me I agree, in terms of similar it may be that some things but in that I do not agree are apart.

In poker we always have to make decisions either to bet or to fold or to check.
In real life we always face issues where we have to decide either to go with the issue or drop the idea or just hang to it for a while.
There is a similarity. It all depends on decision making. Right decision at the right time may produce favorable results and wrong decision may put you in unwanted situation. Hanging on the issue may create a solution by itself or can make the things even worse beyond repair.

IOIW · Apr 24, 2021

Exactly!!!!

adriantempo · Apr 24, 2021

Some parts yes.
People can have multiple faces. Hiding the real one. Appear happy when in fact the reality is grim.
Also changing a lot. Never the same.

abgvedr · Apr 24, 2021

And how about poker face?
Like when youre a kid and you broke vase and mom asking you
"Who broke vase"
And you go "It was cat i swear".
And then she says "Dumb cat. Okay go buy new one and i give you a cookie"
And youre winner. You eat cookie, and cat is dumb.

Lena M · Apr 24, 2021

Hello.
Of course, my life is like poker. Only my patience allows me to achieve the goal and good results.

vnnby · Apr 24, 2021

Poker is a game. Life is reality.

jeffman123 · Apr 24, 2021

I think there's a lot of similarities between life and poker just like there's a lot of similarities between life and chess. There's some life lesssons you can glean from both games and they can also help develop skills, like decision making or emotion management. With that being said, I don't think you should go overboard with the life-poker analogies, it is, at the end of the day, just a game.

Hi

Hi azgeda and welcome to CC. Yes I believe poker is totally like life. I think a good example is being able to put bad beats behind you and move on to the next hand. Life goes on, and sometimes there is nothing you can do about it. There are many stories about people losing everything and they just start over even more than once. Believing in yourself and that good things will come to you if you keep trying. GL

alabos · Apr 24, 2021

Great question but i think we can bluff in life but its not the same strategy

mtmigmike · Apr 24, 2021

Poker looks more like a zebra than life, the stripe is white, the stripe is black,
and then the a.....
